A Renewable Energy Certificate is a measurement tool to define how much energy you displace or avoid using by installing a renewable energy system. Each REC represents the equivalent of one megawatt hour of electricity generation from an accredited renewable energy source. Each Apricus system has been assigned a REC value based on intense efficiency testing. The REC values assigned to Apricus systems represents the displacement of solar energy of one megawatt hour of electricity generation. REC’s have a monetary value which changes weekly based on the renewable energy industry.
